Board Changes
Bango (AIM: BGO), the global platform for data-driven commerce, today announces the
appointment of two new non-executive directors and the retirement of two existing nonexecutive directors.
Gianluca D'Agostino, joined the Bango board in 2016 and retires on 31 October 2021.
Nancy Cruickshank joined the board in 2019 and retires on 31 December 2021.
Bango is delighted to welcome Marcus Weldon and Lisa Gansky to its board with
immediate effect, as independent non-executive directors.
Marcus spent 6 years at Nokia, most recently as Chief Technology Officer and President of
Bell Labs. Before that he worked as CTO at Alcatel-Lucent for 7 years, following 10 years at
Lucent Technologies and at AT&T. He brings a wealth of experience in the telecoms space
and across technologies with a focus on innovation which will be immensely valuable to
Bango. Marcus will join the Bango Remuneration Committee.
Lisa has extensive experience at AOL and Kodak Digital Services and made significant
contributions to the emergence of the Internet. She founded and invested in many
technology businesses. Her entrepreneurship and investment acumen will support Bango
through its next phase of growth. Lisa will join the Bango Audit Committee.
Ray Anderson, Executive Chair, said: "We are grateful to Gianluca and Nancy for working with
us during a period of strong growth, evolution of the Bango product offer and expansion of our
customer base. As we drive our next phase of significant growth and move ever closer to our goal
of becoming the technology behind every payment choice, I warmly welcome both Marcus and
Lisa to the board. They bring significant experience, expertise and ambition to Bango".
Marcus Weldon said: "I am excited to join the Bango team. The vision of becoming the
technology behind every payment choice is a powerful one and one I am confident the team is
uniquely positioned to execute. Bango has successfully created a platform and business that
brings together the giants of the telecom industry with the world's largest online merchants, and
the growth trajectory going forward is truly exciting".
Lisa Gansky said: "Bango brings two vital components of mobile commerce to a vast and
growing market in a unique way. The marketplace business, while in its infancy, is poised for
massive growth. In combination with the more established payment services, this positions
Bango for new markets, business models and partnerships."
Gianluca D'Agostino said: "It has been very exciting working with Bango over the past six years.
Bango is on a strong growth trajectory, and I look forward to watching its progress".
Nancy Cruickshank said: "Having joined Bango three years ago, I have seen the business model
expand with the launch of Bango Marketplace, enhancing the power of its virtuous circle. The
business is in a fantastic place and will become a real force in digital advertising".

About Bango
Will King
The world's largest online merchants, including Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Google
(NASDAQ: GOOG) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), use Bango technology to acquire more
paying users.
Bango has developed unique purchase behavior technology that enables millions more
users to buy the products and services they want, using innovative methods of payment
including carrier billing, digital wallets and subscription bundling. Bango harnesses this
purchase activity into valuable marketing segments, called Bango Audiences. Merchants
use these audiences to target their marketing at paying customers based on their
purchase behavior. Better targeting increases spend through the Bango payments
business, in turn generating more data insights, creating a powerful virtuous circle that
drives continuous growth. Everyone connected to the Bango Platform thrives as the
virtuous circle grows.
